Access Control — Public Procurement
Access control systems protect public buildings, critical infrastructure and military sites. Procurement covers electronic locking systems, biometric identification, turnstile systems, ID management systems and the associated software. Requirements for integration with existing building services and IT security are continuously rising.

- Installation of an electronic locking system for a public authority building
- Procurement of biometric access control for a data centre
- Supply and installation of turnstile systems for a correctional facility

Challenges in tender discovery
Access control is tendered under many different terms: "locking system", "access control", "access management", "security technology" or "visitor management". The technological variants (RFID, biometrics, PIN, smartphone-based) are categorised differently.
Access control is frequently only one lot within larger security or building services tenders, which makes targeted searching difficult. In addition, requirements overlap with areas such as building automation and IT security.
